This creamy, textured goat's milk log was voted 100 Best Food Products of Spain. Rafael Baez created Monte Enebro at the age of 64, in Avila, one of the nine provinces of Castile and Leon (south-west of Madrid). To make this tangy cheese, Rafael uses the milk from the valley's goat herds. As a result, this does set limits on production. Soft-ripened, cave cured, and treated to a penicillin mold on the exterior, its recipe sounds French. The interior is slightly sharp, rich, creamy, and delightful. Find out for yourself why this cheese placed in the top 100 among Spain's multitude of gastronomic delights.

Rarely do I splurge on an expensive cheese I haven't tried before but I decided to give this a shot and was disappointed. It is sharp but I would say it is extremely sharp, so that was one downside for me. Also, I wouldn't say it is creamy at all. It was a much harder cheese than I expected. Also, as others have posted the ash coating is just too thick.

Flavorful!

We loved this cheese! We had it with smoked pheasant, crusty bread, and a robust pinot noir; it brought a zesty flavor to the party. Not for the shy.

My favorite goat cheese

Found this amazing goat cheese in new york and had to actually travel to san diego or los angeles to purchase it when I got back. I know good cheese and this will not disapoint you. I would be shocked if you say after tasting this that you have had better

Too much waste

Layer much too thick, difficult to cut thinly

Monte Enebro

Great cheese, but rather expensive once that heavy ash coating is trimmed. Ash coating not so great.

One of my all-time favorite cheese, so it's wonderful to see iGourmet carrying it. I love ashy blue chevres, and this is the best of them that I've had. Let a small amount come to room temperature (a little goes a long way) and prepare for a unique and fabulous experience.

Intense, Not Like Fresh Goat Cheese

This is an aged cheese that tastes distinctly different from fresh goat cheese that you find on salads and everywhere. If you take a bite with a lot of the ash coating, it is quite pungent. A bite without the ash coating is just rich, deep, smooth, and aged to maturity.
